Yes.
If something has happened in the past 20 or so years, you can pretty easily blame it on Millenials
But I just said I don't want my teen games updated in current gen grahfficks. Hell if anything, update the gameplay. That's what indie devs need to take advantage of; e.g. I hated that game freak only allowed four(4) abilities per Pokemon

Wrong.. >Maria is a black woman that twerks whenever there's danger nearby. The more dangerous the enemy, the faster the twerking.

Original game pretty much shows you what he is anyway. Pyramid head is suppose to be James's guilt which is why his model is the same body and physique. James is symbolically running away from himself the entire game. That why I fricking hate the live action movie and Dead by Daylight continuing the trend of making pyramid head this hulking barashit steroid user.
Pretty much shows you and overexplains is a key difference. Letting the player figure it out and/or hypothesize about it is interesting. Letting the player overthink is a way of letting something become even scarier in the player's head.
If you go the route of "this is what it is. period.", then that is all it ever could be. Its boring and direct.
Pyramid Head is also James’ Guardian Angel according to Ito. He goes out of his way to kill the other monsters attacking James, which are described as James’ Demons, and doesn’t really go out of his way to attack James unless he attacks first, gets in the way of his walk cycle during that one section, or tests him to see if he’s worthy of facing the truth. SH2 takes heavy inspirations from Jacob’s Ladder, along with Demons and Angels being a matter of perspective. The Demons like the Nurses and Lying Figures are trying to stop James from reaching the truth, while Pyramid Head wants James to face the truth.
I've never played a single silent hill game so correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that silent hill was a magic town that took details from the protagonist's subconscious to manifest them into reality, which would mean that the origin story would be the character itself, right?
Can americans not understand this or something?
americans put Piramyd head in games and media he doesn't belong to because he is iconic as frick and midwits give whatever media features him 2 additional points (in a 1 to 10 scale) solely because he is there
I'm not exaggerating
magic town/fantasy/isekai maybe, obviously plays on what maybe is real or what maybe is not. but maybe...(a la Jacob's Ladder), James was in between life and death the whole time?
But yeah, per the game itself the creatures and what not manifests from the characters via the town which had a history of cults, deep religion, possible witchcraft; all that stuff one could read in any history book. (Salem?) As for origin, the SH team in the 90s earlier 00s probably had some notes on origins but felt it not necessary for the game because they had another narrative in mind but at the same time, "give them just enough." >For the longest time, no one knew the meaning of the red squares >Perhaps we still don't and Ito was just yanking our chains
this is technically correct, but SHgays systematize this far too much.
ALL HORROR does this, the monsters arent real some guy made them up, so obviously they reflect people's psychology. This is horror 101 shit.
I guess SHgays have never read a book, even basic shit like Stephen King, since they clearly aren't aware of this.
No he's not, he's a cucked leftoid who supports the status quo because it allowed him to gain millions while writing mid tier horror shit. And even if he wasn't, you clearly have not read much stephen king. Read the entire dark tower series and then tell me the ending is legitimately good and based. Then watch the abortive movie "continuation".
Silent Hill live action is Kino with a capital K and I never, ever pretended it's not
I don't give a flying frick about all of the aspects of the game it gets wrong, which are plenty. I watch it 100% for the fanservice.
“BUES ON MY BUE,” she shrieked at the top of her lungs. The people at the restaurant halted their meals and looked at her with total alarm.
“BUES ON MY BUE! BUES ON MY BUE!”
“Madam, I’m going to have to ask you to leave if you don’t calm down,” the waiter said to her impatiently. “This is a family restaurant, and we can’t have you—”
Anon, it's gonna be a Dead Space gfx update with MGS4-style explanations. It's not gonna be a "re-visioning" or a "director's cut" type of thing. Konami, I bet, is looking to consider going back into console gaming for some reason. Don't forget they have Metal Gear Solid(?): Delta on the docket.
So...instead of including "Born from a Wish" or heck even doing a new original side story featuring one of the other characters going through shit (imagine playing like an alternate scenario of 2 where Eddie kills James), they instead want to do an Origin story for Pyramid Head....who's entire purpose and being is spelt out in detail in the actual game.
Holy Shit this is going to tie into that "Silent Hill Phenomenon" nonsense from the short message in some fashion. Frick they're probably going to retcon that every Pyramid Head like character from the other games is just Pyramid Head in a different form.
>who's entire purpose and being is spelt out in detail in the actual game
You haven't played the game lol that doesn't happen at all. All your favourite youtube morons have is ito sperging out on twitter for the past 2 decades, none of that shit is actually in the game
>>"Do millennials really, truly desire all their teen games to be updated in current gen grifx?"
Yes.
If something has happened in the past 20 or so years, you can pretty easily blame it on Millenials
>You haven't played the game lol that doesn't happen at all
Let me quote what james says before the dual pyramid head boss fight towards the end of the game. >"I was weak." >"That's why I needed you..." >"Needed somebody to punish me for my sins..."
It doesn't get much clearer than that. Pyramid Head existed to punish James. It looks like the way it does because of a painting James saw.
The game tells you all this, you don't need a youtuber or twittertard to tell you that.
I tought Born From a Wish was already included in the remake? I remember reading that here.
It's unclear. I checked before posting, but I couldn't find anything that said that "Born from a Wish" is going to be included
They want Silent Hill to be another generic universe where you pump hundreds of shit games, a flanderized SH2 is the perfect vessel for that, Silent Hill now is only about cookie cutter therapist town episodes.
Ascension and The Short Message already proved that. That Silent Hill: F game will no doubt continue this idea and Silent Hill 2 is going to be the vessel to get older fans to be more accepting of this transition.
>Silent Hill 2 is going to be the vessel to get older fans to be more accepting of this transition.
Won't accept it, series died after 3. If this is shit then I will fricking do nothing because I'm an insignificant piece of shit that's been getting cucked by this dipshit industry since whatever year MW2 launched
They want Silent Hill to be another generic universe where you pump hundreds of shit games, a flanderized SH2 is the perfect vessel for that, Silent Hill now is only about cookie cutter therapist town episodes.
wouldn't it be hilarious if the Silent Hill 2 remake really is 90% complete and Konami ends up with canceling it because it's irredeemable rubbish
as in, landfill fire in summer tiers of bad
It'd be funny, but i don't think it'd happen even if SH2R was the worst game ever made and basically unplayable
They've already spent a lot on marketing it, they'd release it as is then pull out of the gaming industry because they were riding on SH2 to see if it'd be profitable again.
So what happened with that silent hill live action episodic stuff they put on youtube?
Last thing I remember from it was the gay orgy the protagonist needed to attend.
Uh, SH2 Pyramid Head's origin story is that James visited Silent Hill museum and saw photos of the executors with oversized burlap bags on their head thus the "punishers" for him were like that?
>Jimmy Stone is a cultist appearing in the Silent Hill series and a resident of Silent Hill, Maine. A descendant of Reverend Stone, he is a priest and executioner of the town's cult who serves under the angel of rebirth Valtiel. The character is nicknamed the Red Devil because of the triangular red hood worn by the executioners during ritualistic murders. He was first mentioned in a newspaper article in Silent Hill 2, before making his physical debut as a ghost in Silent Hill 4: The Room.
The inspiration for Pyramid Head's role in the story stemmed from a quote from Jacob's Ladder: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you. They're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all."
Blooper has never made a good game. ever. all they do is rip off other people's ideas poorly. Layers Of Fear is just an even shittier PT stretched out to a full game length with no real game mechanics.
"media literacy". it's the same brainrot that ruined shows like Breaking Bad and Bojack Horseman because "you missed the point by heccin liking them!!!!"
I swear to God, if they "canonize" Homecoming's stupid fricking ending where the protagonist becomes a Pyramid Head, and wave it off as an alternate timeline James haunting this James, in order to legitimize alternate timelines as a reason for the remake existing, they're going to find my dead body after laughing myself to death.
???
Isnt SH2 his origin story?
4 I'd argue gave us the closest thing but in all cases there isn't really one, he doesn't exist until James shows up to the town and then is gone at the end.
yes, specifically the tail about executioners that wear red hoods and the painting.
>tail
tale
Totally forgot about those guys
Even the devs know it's over. I've seen the kind of people who work on these games and they aren't even b team level.
Konami hasn't made a serviceable game in over a decade, they're just a shovelware mill that makes money from gambling.
>PS5 exclusive
no thanks, bro
I dont know why but that sentence using as twice pisses me off. They could have written it as "...Silent Hill, hunted by terrifying creatures..."
Repeating words and phrases too frequently is a sign of poor writing, yes.
So a sort of Born From a Wish, but with the gameplay of the last part of Downpour(hopefully without as much QTEs)?
Eh, i'll take it.
It’s going to play like Homecoming, and it both looks and plays worse than it.
enjoying games exclusively on my PlayStation 5 is what gaming is all about

>pyramid head origin story
Yeah, that's really fricking stupid if it's true.
But they already have an origin story in the game?
What is it?
He's James' desire to be punished given form in Silent Hill. Which is why it makes 0 sense for him to appear in other media.
Thank you for explaining it. It was a rhetorical question, but it's good to know that people understand it.
>origin story
>DUUUHHH he was a cone head
>DUUUHHH he was a square pyramid head
>DUUUHHH he was a pentagonal pyramid head
>DUUUHHH he was a hexagonal pyramid head
Horror is best with mystery. Over explaining is how you make something boring and gay. Nothing needs to be relatable, hes a monster.
This is also a really good point. You're not supposed to relate to the thing that's trying to kill you.
Original game pretty much shows you what he is anyway. Pyramid head is suppose to be James's guilt which is why his model is the same body and physique. James is symbolically running away from himself the entire game. That why I fricking hate the live action movie and Dead by Daylight continuing the trend of making pyramid head this hulking barashit steroid user.
Blame Vemon from the 90s animated spider man show. He's probably not responsible but he's a jerk so it's okay.
Pretty much shows you and overexplains is a key difference. Letting the player figure it out and/or hypothesize about it is interesting. Letting the player overthink is a way of letting something become even scarier in the player's head.
If you go the route of "this is what it is. period.", then that is all it ever could be. Its boring and direct.
That looks hilarious, they really put that in the game?
He looks buff in the original painting.
thats just not being fat + good lighting
I see the DBD version and I immediately think "a woman designed this"
Pyramid Head is also James’ Guardian Angel according to Ito. He goes out of his way to kill the other monsters attacking James, which are described as James’ Demons, and doesn’t really go out of his way to attack James unless he attacks first, gets in the way of his walk cycle during that one section, or tests him to see if he’s worthy of facing the truth.

dat ass!
A fujo probably did design it
Always sad no one keeps his antenna/tongue, the fact it's how he "sees" accoring to the closet scene makes highlights that he is not of human origins.
